TWO CAROLS FOR CHRISTMAS

Arranger:   BARR, JOHN G

John Barr, a favorite of many, has arranged two beloved Christmas carols for the coming season. Meditation on "In the Bleak Midwinter" is a reflective setting with lush chords supporting the familiar melody in the left hand. A bit more involved is his Prologue on "On this Day Earth Shall Ring." A running 4th pattern and a 16th-note patter in the right hand offer a challenge, but add to the mood and excitement of the overall work. A great recital piece or service prelude.
